I’m wondering if the Hyrimoz is working as well as it should or am I in a flare ? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, it's actually quite common — up to 40% of people with RA find that TNF inhibitors like Hyrimoz (adalimumab biosimilar) stop working as well over time. So you're definitely not alone in wondering this!

Yes, it's actually quite common — up to 40% of people with RA find that TNF inhibitors like Hyrimoz (adalimumab biosimilar) stop working as well over time. So you're definitely not alone in wondering this!

There are a few signs that your medication may not be working as it should:

- Returning joint pain, swelling, or stiffness in previously affected joints
- No significant improvement after 3 to 6 months of treatment
- Experiencing more frequent flares than before

The tricky part is that these signs can overlap with a flare, making it hard to tell the difference on your own. The best next step is to contact your rheumatologist and describe exactly what you're experiencing. They can assess your symptoms, run blood tests, and check for signs of inflammation to figure out whether it's a flare or a sign that Hyrimoz needs to be reconsidered.

Whatever the cause, there are more treatment options available today than ever before, so there are always paths forward if a change is needed. Don't hesitate to be open and detailed with your doctor — that information really helps them help you. 💙
